Saturday Matinee – Маричка, Lucero, Dave Alvin & The Guilty Ones

Lucero‘s “I Want Your Love.” Ben Nichols & Company rocks at the Memphis Sun Studios in 2012. Jump to 1:10 for the good stuff. There’s a lot of influences in that song, something for everybody, and it reminded me of The Blasters.

Dave Alvin & The Guilty Ones “Harlan County Line” is pure badass grinding blues, and it’s just what’s needed to wrap up this episode of The Saturday Matinee.

Have a great weekend, folks and don’t sweat the weather. We’re working on it.

SG– Nice find. Clapton was my first introduction to the blues, and E.C. Was Here is one of my favorite albums. Took me a while to realize that some of the classic rock songs were covers – and then I found that the original versions were often better.
